Hussey has, fur the - Pretent, escaped the 'vigilance of the Po lice. Mr. J. Letton, cooper, deposed, that Hussey. kept 11 box at his house, to which he often came. - On the Bundav at er the murder, lie seemed rather intoxicated ; he said lie hail dined that day with his washerwoman. Mr. Letton . lost a liamtnVr shoot a trirtnight ht.fore the murders; and he thought Hu sey had been at his house on the afternoon in which he lost it. Illosey had le : - moved the box to Deptford. He had talked of expecting a sum of money to be left him. Nlagistrate-Ditl you ever see Hezelton and Hussey together ? • 'c ituess—They had called at his house fre: triently, being servants out of place. Hatelton used to sit lit his apartments while Hussey was cleaning himself, anti changing his linen. He be 7 !leved they were nearly always together. Mr. Twainlaw, the landlord of the Tiger's-head, teas interrogated by the Magistrates, Col. Fore man, and Mr Smith. He stated that Hussey ha'd lodged at his ()Ouse occasionally for nine tveelt's. On the Jat tit day night the murders were cominV ted Hussey was at his house, in the lodge-town 'of Odd Fellows, he - being one of the order. He ofid not know what time Hussey went into the lodge -: room, but he 'vas there at 10 o'clock at night,whe'h the lodge closed. He bel.eved that Hussey did not go out of the house after that time ; he could not be .certain ; he was positive that he slept at his house that night He got up next morning (Sunday) and had his: breakfast at his house ; he did not pay for it then ; he owed a trifle at that time, and shortly after paid it, together with what hue owed. There might be something different in Hussey's beha viour alter the murders, but he never noticed it, as he was, above all others, the last man he should have suspected, from his general mildness and simplicity of manners. The Magistrate ordered the Constable to brit► lot ward the "washerwoman whom Hussey dined with on the Sunday, to he examined on a future day. The vessels in the river have been searched, but no person answering Hussey's description found. From no information having been received from Adkins, who set off on last Sunday morning to Dorsetshire, it is conjectured that he has received some clue to his retreat, and had pro ceeded further in quest of him. On Tuesday week be was seen in London by many persons, and some think it probable that he has concealed himself in town. From Hussey being such a re markably persoo, it is not likely he can long secret himself ; he has an impediment in his speech, is very fair, and pale faced. He does not look to be more than 24 years of age, and is most remark able for having an extraor&nary large band and foot. His shoes (a pair of which he left at Mrs. Lotion's) measuie bet ween 13 and 14 inches from heel to toe. No other examination will take place until Hussey is if) custody. SUSSEX ASSIZES, 1-1011stjAm, MARCI 17 . BRIGHTON RIOTS. The Grand Jury this day ignored the hills of indictment against the High Constable of Brighton and another person, charged with tl►e wilful tnnr►ler of a loan named Rowles, on the sth of November last, during the riots at Brighton. A great - number of witnesses were in attendance on both sides, and tie Jury were occupied a great portion of the day in considering the case. Notwithstanding the indictment being tb os thrown out, yesterday cam , on the trials of -- Day, the soldier, Mr. Willia►ns, the high con stable, and Mr. White, constable of Btighton. charged, the fir,:t as principal, and the two last as acceSsaries, with the supposed murder of -- Rowles, also► a const , ble, who wa , . killed in a riot that took place on the sth of November last.— They were tried upon the Coroner's inquisition. Under the direction of the Learned Judge they were all acquitted without being put on their defence. SHOCKING ACCIDENT. CORONER'S INQUEST•—Yesterday everting an Inquisition was taken on the body of Mr. Hill Darley, who was accidentally killed on Tuesday afternoon. It appeared troth the evidence of P. Doyle, watch-glass-maker, in Whitcomb -street, that •between 12 and 1 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, the deceased was walking with a lady on the foot pavement down the Haymarket, when the son ot \lr. Eider, accompanied by another person in a bleak, drawn by one horse, drove down in the same direction The hoise took fright, and ran against the deceased, by which he teas knocked against the iron railin,-; and cut very much in the head. He was carried into the house of Mr. Hod son ; he only !poke, " lift We up, I an, clioaking." 'lle lady was with difficulty saved.—James Nor man, servant to Mr. Read, 27, Lower Brook -street , stated that the horse belonged to his master, and had been training about a month ; Mr. Elder, jun. and he were in the break et the time, and they drove up and down the Haymatket several (hilts berme this accident liappen«l; the shafts were put into the break that day, and on turning round- at the corner ot Coventry -street, one of them broke, by which the horse was fo ightened, and lie ran away. Both witness and Mr. Elder were thrown out.—Mr. Webh, a surgeon, in Coventry•street, stated the nature of the wound, and was satitfied the concussion of the brain was iufficient to cause death.

MOUSE OF LORDS, 7 ‘‘,.2DNESDAY, MAlliCti 18 On the motion of Lord t .tsNY . oist . ,, the evidence givt n before the Committee on, the 'Chimney Sweepers' ftegulation Bilk was ordered to be printed. . . The Greenland Fishery Oaths Bill was read a third time and passed. _ The Bank Tokens Penalty Suspensionl) was also read a third time Oh the motion of the nett.) ut LIVaaPooL, striking out, one of ' the clauses, respecting which hiS Lordship stated there were some doubts, but which was in fact wholly (Cline!. cessary. The Bill was sent back to the House of Com mons, and was shortly afterwards returned by Mr. Brogden and other Membets with the Amend ment agreed to The Husbandry HorSes Bill was also brought up front the House of tolurnOni by' the same Members, and read a first time.. CIRCULATING MEDIUM. On the motion of the Earl of LAUDERDALE' an Account was ordered of the Sovereigns and Half- Sovereigns issued from the Mint to the Bank of England and otherwise. The Earl of. LAUDERDALE then intimated his intention of bringing for Ward a motion on Tues day, the 14th April, r e l a tive to the gen e ra l state (?1 the Currency. His object was not confined to the circulation of Paper, which, however, xas undoubtedly of great importance, particularly with a view to the period of the cessation of the Batik Restriction in July next. But even sup 'Posing the Paper in circulation should not be found to be depreciated, and that it should be as .Certained there was no more in circulation than Was requisite for the wants of the country, there Was still another subject which claimed the greatest attention and the gravest consideration on the part of their Lordships. lie meant tile state of the gold and silver currency as it would he in the event of the Bank Restriction ceasing. I.lAer the provisiOn's of the Act of Parliament relative to the Coinage,'and with the existing Mint Regu lations, he was perfectly persuaded that the 'g‘dd coins could Bever come into general circidation. Coniidering the. enactments and regulatiOns "sPecting the silver coins, and tho . se that existed re garding the gold coins, it appeared to him to be ut terly impossible that the latter could be 'retained in ch - culation. It therefore became a serionieonsidera- Hon with regard to Bankers, who, tinder such cir- CuMStanCeS, in the event of the Restriction ceasing, would be utterly unable to obtain gold to Make their payments. He was anxious to arrive at a true opi uion upon this most important question, and his object in bringing forward his motion was not to obtain a triumph for any set of opinions, but to discover, if possible, by comparing his own ideas with those of others, the true state of the ques- . tint), which it was most important should be as certsined with - a view to the approaching period of the cessation of the Bank Restriction. His Lordship gave his motice for Tuesday, the 14th April, for which day the Lords were ordered to be sommooed. Adjoritned till to-morrow (this day). HOUSE OF COMMONS. Certain accounts from the Audit Office were presented. Ordered to he on the Table, and to be printed. The Nlaidstone Saadi Debts Bill was read a second time. The Report from the Committee to inquire into the dis tressed state of the Watchmakers, was brought up, and or dered to he printed. Papers referring to the Constitution of the lonian Isles were presented, and ordered to be printed. A petition from Hull was presented, praying for an alte ration in the root. Laws.—Ordered to be referred to the Com mittee on these laws. PARLIAMENTARY REFORNI. Mr. BIRCH presented petitions from Liverpool, Harring ton, and Bridget Square, in Nottingham, in favour of Parlia mentary Reform.—Urdered to lie on the Table. Lord PALMERSTON brought in a Bill to regulate the rate of subsistence to innkeepers, for the quartering of soldiers. It was read a first time, and the second reading fixed for to-morrow. Mr. ABERCROMBY, in the absence of his Right Honour able Friend (Sir J. Newport) d to correct an error in which, from the fault of others, his Right Honourable Friend had fallen, and on which he had founded a notice of motion to that House. That notice referred to the production of the two last Reports of the Commissioners appointed to report as to the fees in the Courts of Justice in England. It was ascer tained that those Commissioners, appointed by the rote of Parliament, -had made these Reports, but whether arising Irons the fault of the proper Officer of the Crown, the Reports viere not laid before the House. Mr. GOULBURN was glad to hear the apology due to the injury which these Commissioners 'sustain ed in consequence of such notice. Mr. ABERCROMBY denied. that any apology was either doe or made. He had a right to presume that these Reports were wilfully withheld from the knowledge of the House. Mr. DOUGLAS moved for leave to bring in a Bill for the better protection of Saving Rinks in Scotland. - After a few words fro, General THORNTON and Sir R. FERGUSSON, who staled that the Bill had his fullest sup port, and was highly creditable to the Rev. Gentleman, who, he believed, had framed it, leave was granted. On the motion of Mr. TEED, it was ordered that there be laid before the House the annual return ft tim the year 1791', to the present period, of the Storekeeper's General Establish ment, with the amount of salaries, and the return of the de pots at \illict they were stationed. The Longitude, and Northern Passage Discovery Bill was read a third time mid passed. Lord LASCELLES, adverting to the petitions that be had p.resented from Leeds anti Halifax, complaining of the rigo rous assessment of Shops to the Assessed Taxes, was anxious to know from the Right Honourable the Chancellor of the Exchequer. before the recess, whether any amelioration on that subject was in contemplation ? The CHANCELLOR - of the EXCHEQUER Said, that there existed a great difficulty in separating the charges on houses, from the shops attached to theni. Jr. TIERNF.Y observed, that if any amelioration was in tended it could nut remain in better hands . ; but he at the same time wished to know whether any thing definite was meant, as in the event of no sock determination a Noble Friend of his (Lord Milton), then absent, Would submit a pro position to that House? The CHANCF.LLOR of the EXCHEQUER was under stood t 9 say, that he had no intention of making any pro position. Lord LASCELLES believed that no ameliorati.tn could take place without an alteration in the Act of Pouliament. Latid Tax Asses,merit Bill was read a seeo:),l time.— Ordei ed, to be read a t hird time on the lath of April next. SPANISII Dr. Prtit.LimoitE sl►onlcl 110 t t respass long i►ium tl►e House making the moti , m of which he had given notice. Hooontable Meinbi•rs must be aware, that by a recent Treaty, 400,0001. had been given to Spain in compensation for all the losses sustained by Spa►►ish subjects engaged i►► the Slave 'Lade, and whose vessels had been detained and condemned. These claimants were divided into three classes : those whose ships and cargoes . had been condemned in the Colonies, and whose ap peals bad been wade too late to be -attended to . . . those whose appeals were in a state of prog,res sjon ; * o il lastly,. those who were in- possession of Decrees of the Court, en tiering the stitueiou of their property, Or of i;s value . !I s mosioo hail no teterence whatever to ihe first ri second classes. It, toilY reg a l-led the third, and'i,iellia raeterand eredit. of Britisn Tribunals, whose faith was pledged to the rsstoration of their Property. It appeareil from the scheditle, that there were four cases in ‘ , ll;ch sentences of restitution had passed: two in Jannary, - 1817, the third its May, and the fo"tieth at the beginning of hist December. The Treaty with Spain had beers cuncl sled last year on the 22d of Septem ier, and ratified November 27. A sentence of restitution was a Dec:ree of the Tribunal of the Law of Na tions, Witting persons iii possession of their pro perty, or of the amount of its value. It was not for him to tell the House howimportant it was that the sentences ot our tribunal's should he kept inviolate. The law on which they were founded did not rest on speculative notions of right and wrong. It hail attained the fixedness of a muni cipal law, established by all the tribunals in Eu rope. Amongst these*none held so high a rank as our own, and should their decisions be suffer ed to become mere nullities ? It was to avert the mere possibility of any imputation being cast on the non-inviolability of those decisions, that bii motion was'intended. As the case now stood. the persons in poSseSSion at those sentences held little more than waste paper in their hands. They had only retained a nominal restitution. Front, the tiatore' of their property, it was impossible that it should he restored, but they should have its full value. That was settled by an Act passed in 1815, in consequence of which restitution was to be made, not in the slaves themselves, but in their value, and they were to be paid by the Trea surer of the Navy, on producing the sentence of the Court. Three of the cases whiilt he ha'd mentioned, had taken place antecedently to the Act, and could not therefore be benefi ed by its provisions. In the last, which was that of the Rosa, the sentence of the Court had been ;item. partied by a memorandum ; but on applying to the Treasurer of the Navy, lie had demurred giv ing an answer, though the same week 48,000/. had be'en paid to two French claimants under si milar cir . cainistances. The character of the country was involved in those transactions, and it woidd have become his Majesty's Governutent, when entering into a treaty with Sinai!, to have made provision that the sentences of the British Court of Admiralty should oat be vilified and nullifier). His motion shOuld be, to address his Royal High ness generally, to provide that the claimants irs question be indemnified. He was sincerely anxi ous that the Slave T. stle should he totally abe.• fished, and whatever inconveniences lie had no ticed in the last Treaty with Spain, he was per fectly satisfied that they were more than counter balanced by the advantages gained. It was most important to have extorted from Spain an ac knowledgment of the infamy of the Slave Trade, to have placed the part of Africa to the north of the line Within the pale of the Civilized world, and to have obtained the right n! mutual search. He concluded by moving, That an humble Ad dress be presented to his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, representing that it'appears to this House that several Spanish sithkcis have obtainer) sentences of restitution of vessels kngaved in the African Slave Trade, detainid by his Majesty's cruisers and brought to adjudication ; that they have commenced and prosecuted those suits at. considerable ex pence, its consequence of the int plieit confidence .vhich they reposed in the justice of the British 'Tribunals, and on the faith of an Act passed in the 55:1; year of his Majesty, and are therefore entitled to a . cOmpensation---and that being most anxious to maintain the charac ter and credit of British Tribunals., this House entreats his Royal Highness to take of measures to provide that the 'Spanish subjects, in possession of sentences of restitution, may receive the full amount of the property restored. Lord CASTLEREAGH hoped that lie should be able to satisfy the Hon. and Learned Gentleman and the House itself, tnat nothing had been done contrary to equity and justice in the arrangement which had taken place with Spain. The Hon. Gentleman would not dispute that it was compe tent for the Sovereign of a nation to compoonct for the interests of his subjects. If such power did not reside in the Sovereiv,u of a country, what confusion,and even what warfare, might not ensue ? Individuals would then carry on negociations which might involve a whole people into a con test. All waiters on the Laws of Nations main tained the existence, of such a power, and he would mention two cases in which it had been exercised by this country, and with the approbation and thanks of Parliainent. The first he should state was the treaty signed at Vienna in 1815, by wltich 300,000/. were paid to Portugal, its satisfaction of all the claims of its subjects, 'un der the same circumstances as the present, and when there many cases in adjudication.— The other ryas subsequent to the American war. By the Treaty concluded with America in 1783, the Courts of the United States were thrown open to British subjects, for the rtcovei y of the pro perty condemned during the contest. In several cases they had obtained satisfaction, but it was denied in so many others, that it was found ne cessary for the British Government to cutter into a new arrangetneut with that of America: Two modes had been tried. By the first the Govern ment of the Ijiiited States took upon itself to examine the cases, and to give cOmpeosation.--. But this proved so little effective, that, in 1801, lie British Government had been obliged to ac cept a sum of money from the United States in toll satisfaction for all the claims of .British sub jects its existence since 1783. Thus it had hem found prudent for the Crown to accept of 600,0001. f or c l a i ms estimated at between six 4,0 l seven toil. lions sterling. These cases proved brat the whole antlintity of compounding for the interests of its subjects rested with tht• Crown, am! the wily glics;i4.!l) was, whether his Majesty's Covet nment min made it proper arrangement with the flin g 4 ,f Spain, so far as the interests of this Counts, were concerned?
